<p>President-elect Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that Senate Democrats will &#8220;improperly&#8221; attempt to delay the cabinet confirmation process and implored Republicans to stand up to the opposition party&#8217;s &#8220;tricks.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Republicans taking control of the Senate by a six-seat majority in January, Democrats will be handicapped in any effort to tank a Trump cabinet nominee unless some Republicans join them. Multiple cabinet picks — including Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard — could face fierce pushback during their confirmation hearings. The first hearings are scheduled to begin next week.</p>
<p>&#8220;We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People, but Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our Great Nominees,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113747699380757285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Truth Social. &#8220;They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them to do that. We have a Country to run, and many big problems to solve, mostly created by Democrats. REPUBLICANS, BE SMART AND TOUGH!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump posted his warning on social media just two days after his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, reiterated instructions for Trump&#8217;s cabinet nominees to stay off social media, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/30/us-news/trump-team-orders-all-intended-nominees-to-stop-posting-on-social-media-ahead-of-senate-confirmations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Wiles wrote in a memo on Sunday, &#8220;While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Accordingly, all intended nominees should refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Hegseth, Kennedy, and Gabbard have all been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pete-is-a-winner-trump-stands-by-hegseth-amid-legacy-media-firestorm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrutinized</a> by the legacy media after their nominations. Criticisms of Hegseth have focused on a sexual assault allegation against him made by an unnamed woman in 2017. Authorities investigated the accusation, and no charges were filed against Hegseth.</p>
<p>Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who switched to the Republican Party in October, has been slammed by pundits and some Democrats who allege that she is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/gabbard-trump-putin-intelligence-russia-syria-a798adaf9cd531a5d0c9329f7597f0f6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sympathetic</a> toward Russia. Kennedy, meanwhile, has faced backlash for his stance on vaccines.</p>
<p>Trump immediately sparked controversy with his cabinet choices last month. His attorney general pick, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-consideration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withdrew</a> his name from consideration after senators expressed concern over his confirmation due to alleged sexual misconduct. After Gaetz withdrew, Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.</p>
<p>The president-elect has doubled down on his support for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pete-is-a-winner-trump-stands-by-hegseth-amid-legacy-media-firestorm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hegseth</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-rips-those-criticizing-tulsi-gabbard-for-meeting-with-assad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabbard</a> amid the legacy media firestorms.</p>
